Countertop Preparation and Support Planning

Just about everything but the countertop 
What happens here
The final stage of the rough-in involves preparing the top surfaces of the block structure for the installation of the chosen countertops, which are indicated to be granite. This includes ensuring that all surfaces are perfectly level and smooth, ready to receive the heavy and precise countertop slabs. The video mentions an 'overhang' for bar stools, which requires careful planning of the counter dimensions and potentially additional support structures (not visible but implied) to ensure stability and proper clearance for seating. This phase is critical for the aesthetic and functional success of the finished kitchen.
Goal: Prepare the top surfaces of the kitchen structure for countertop installation.
